ok that's why i re-agranged the match up..thank you for your resource(is it up to date though)... and if they get hit 20 per over there's chance that much sloging is going to bring wickets...again i stress there's going to be be mismatches in very sport get over it please, but you have to give the minows chance to play with the big league in some form of the game(it's not like leting them get kill in a 50 over match or a test)...plus you don't know who's going to win in 20/20 for sure if it starts....Neil Pickup said:

Look, I've been one of the staunchest defenders of the minnows' Test and International status and involvement in the World Cup on this website for the last four and a half years. Staggered involvement at the right level at the right pace is the way forward - the InterContinental Cup, the 'A' team tours, involvement in neighbouring countries' competitions; they're all happening now.

tell you the truth i learned to swim when im brother threw me into the pool but i get your point..the teams are going to get some experience by 2009 from the intercontinetal cups and the A teams tour, plus its not ODI its 20/20 and its not round ribbon tournament when a team has to play pointless matches...if a certaint team cant handle it they go home...the worst that can happen is they get killed but all that will over in max 3 hours...give it a chance...Neil Pickup said:

There's no chance that these minnows can win against any of the test playing nation.But even if we suppose that what u're saying is true & a 20/20 tournament is played based on your suggestions,lets say Spain beats West Indies(it would be a fluke win even if these teams really meet in such tournament in next 100 years atlest),then what would happen is they will demand test status,just as Bangladesh did after their fluke victory against Pakistan in 1999 World Cup.And I won't be surprised if they managed to get idiots to suppot them(just like BCCI in the case of Bangladesh).Since test status,Bangaldesh haven't won a single test against any of the top 8 test playing nations and many current/former cricketers often demand to get rid of them.Imagine teams like Spain & Finland playing test cricket.That will just ruin test cricket.So,please spare us your idiotics,Sir.LA ICE-E said:

ok first sir, if you read the whole thing it said if you did good in 20/20 then you get ODI status and geuss what as off right now 6 associates got ODI status, and secondly bangladesh won their 1st test after 5 years of getting their test status but New Zealand got their 1st win after 26 years of getting it now look how they are competing...and look bangladesh almost won against australia and pakistan and india on their 1st test...they just can't finish it off because of inexperience in tests.....sir you got to stop being a critic of the minow or the game will never expand and it can't stay a global sport with ten teams in the long term...So,please spare us your idiotics, sirSA said:

New Zealand played around 20 test matches in those 26 years,please tell me how many did Bangladesh lose before winning their 1st Test & that too against a minnow Zimabwe.And the Pakistan Team against which u're saying Bangladesh almost won was not even 1/3 as strong as their current team is.They had recently lost greats like Saeed Anwar,Wasim Akram & Waqar Younis which used to make up more than 50% strength of their team.Moreover,there's hell of a difference between "winning" & "almost winning".Its a fact that Bangladesh never deserved Test Status,& even since getting that,they've only improved to the extent that they can easily win against other minnows but lose miserably against the top 8 test playing nations.LA ICE-E said:ok first sir, if you read the whole thing it said if you did good in 20/20 then you get ODI status and geuss what as off right now 6 associates got ODI status, and secondly bangladesh won their 1st test after 5 years of getting their test status but New Zealand got their 1st win after 26 years of getting it now look how they are competing...and look bangladesh almost won against australia and pakistan and india on their 1st test...they just can't finish it off because of inexperience in tests.....sir you got to stop being a critic of the minow or the game will never expand and it can't stay a global sport with ten teams in the long term...So,please spare us your idiotics, sir

Come off it, even 5 year olds no long say "same to you with knobs on".
Although you gets plus marks for persistance considering the thread has had only about 3 serious replies and one person even gave the ultimate insult of accusing you of being Malcolm Speed. This is either a very clever troll or cricket's version of David Icke.

So that team they almost won against wasn't a Pakistan team? It doesn't matter if pakistan is stronger now at that time that was the pakistan team... i know there's a difference between winning and almost winning but what do you call beating Australia last year sir? yeah it was ODI and there's difference between test and ODI but before getting test status that would have never happened.. and ok New Zealand got 20 tests before winning well bangladesh is 16 tests behind...SA said:

yes but bangladesh does still have talent-Ashraful, Nafess was nominted for emering play of the year etc, and bangladeshs U19 team is pretty good...and that would never happen without getin test status because there would be less funding and bangladesh has the crowd that would back it up by going to its matches....kenya did prety good in the world cup and should have test status but they dont have the public support and people doesnt go to its matches...SA said:
